Greg Palast, an award-winning investigative reporter featured in The Guardian, Nation Magazine, Rolling Stone Magazine, BBC and elsewhere, joins Misfit hosts Michelle Witte and Bob Schlehuber to explain exactly how the Supreme Court of the US and other courts could affect the outcome of this presidential election and brings an update on voter suppression efforts and resistance to them in states across the nation. 

Director of Foreign Policy in Focus at the Institute for Policy Studies John Feffer discussed his new report, “A Pandemic Pivot,” which argues that returning to the liberal status-quo won’t cut it post-covid.

Not quite as exaggerated: fears about the inroads Prager U and other conservative organizations are making into US education systems.
